About this place Telstar Hotel

Telstar Hotel is a small mainstream guesthouse on St David's Hill in Exeter, listed as gay-friendly rather than as a gay hotel. It's handy for rail travellers: Exeter St David's station is at the bottom of the hill, and the city centre and cathedral are a walk of around 10 to 15 minutes in the other direction. It's rated 4.5 across about 300 Google reviews. Expect a traditional B&B-style setup rather than hotel facilities; check parking and breakfast details directly. Exeter's gay scene is small, so look up current bars and events before your trip.

Had a Too Good To Go from here. Lovely food and warm and welcoming staff 😊

The room was spacious, except for the tiny bathroom, but it was clean. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the center. The internet almost never works, it's like having no internet at all. I don't know if it was just us, but our window looked out onto a small table placed 10 cm from the window itself, where people were having tea and could see everything going on in the room. It was impossible to undress and have any privacy, truly terrible. Finally, there's heating but no air conditioning in the room. Breakfast good.

Great stay at this BnB. I stayed in a single room which had everything I needed. The staff were very friendly and helped me with my bag up the steps. Tasty breakfast and well located for the town and Exeter St David's railway station too. 😊

A short walk from the railway station. Thank you to the team, a lovely cooked breakfast, and they accomodated my late check in.

Very comfortable hotel, homely and welcomely. The bed was comfy and plenty of soap body lotion. Tea and coffee in room and able to get food if arriving late which I did. The home made pitza was delicious and also breakfast following morning. A reasonable price too. Conveniently near to the train station but up the hill away from noise. The 2 guys were really nice and helpfull. Bathroom and all was spotless. I would definitely stay there again. I took photos from the back of hotel looking down over houses.
